New Patient Registration

When you register with the Practice you will be asked to fill out the 'Application to Register with a General Medical Practice' form. This form requests information about your previous GP and your current and previous addresses. We also ask you to complete a basic questionnaire about your medical history and any medications you are currently taking.

We will also need-

Your medical card.

You should also bring proof of identity and evidence of your new address.

If you cannot find your medical card, don't worry as you will still be able to register with the Practice.

On completion of the form you will then be registered with the Practice.

When joining the Practice you are registering with The Practice and not with an individual GP. However, you may ask to see any doctor and the Practice shall endeavour to comply with your preference.

Upon completion of these forms, one of our receptionists will make you a registration medical appointment with the practice nurse. Please bring your urine sample to this appointment along with all recently prescribed medication.

The Royal College of General Practitioners has produced a useful guide for patients about the services on offer at GP Surgeries and how to access them. You can download the guide below.

Non-English Speakers

These fact sheets have been written to explain the role of UK health services, the National Health Service (NHS), to newly-arrived individuals seeking asylum. They cover issues such as the role of GPs, their function as gatekeepers to the health services, how to register and how to access emergency services.

Special care has been taken to ensure that information is given in clear language, and the content and style has been tested with user groups.

Temporary Registration

If you are ill while away from home or if you are not registered with a doctor but need to see one you can receive emergency treatment from the local GP practice for 14 days. After 14 days you will need to register as a temporary or permanent patient.

You can be registered as a temporary patient for up to three months. This will allow you to be on the local practice list and still remain a patient of your permanent GP. After three months you will have to permanently register with that practice.

To register as a temporary patient simply contact the local practice you wish to use. Practices do not have to accept you as a temporary patient although they do have an obligation to offer emergency treatment. You cannot register as a temporary patient at a practice in the town or area where you are already registered.
